I have been teaching for over 25 years in a middle school and what matters most to kids, well, I wish it was the lessons I teach. The reality is, what matters most to them is the products that they carry around with them all day. Below you will find some of my favorites in what's cool in hydration, backpacks and other trendy school supplies.

Backpacks with Style and Flair
The Northface Recon is perfect for a student in middle school all the way through college. I love the design and it handles all the tasks your student will demand. What really caught my attention is the protection this backpack provides for your back as I am always amazed by how heavy the backpacks are when being carried around all day.
Another option from an additional brand that you can trust and that is will be wildly popular in middle and high school is the Under Armour Unisex Hustle 5.0 Backpack. It offers padded straps for comfort along with plenty of compartments for organizing everything a student requires in the classroom.
One of the post popular brands that I observed in my classroom is JansSport. The JanSport SuperBreak One Backpack is durable, offers excellent compartment design and there are numerous color options to choose from. All of this offered at a competitive price. Looking for a more budget friendly, durable backpack that your kids will love. Look no further.

My daughter begged me for this one and she absolutely loves it! The STANLEY IceFlow Stainless Steel Tumbler with Straw design is amazing at keeping your liquids cold. You will be amazed! I know I was.
The one noise that I hear over and over in my classroom is the sound of a water tumbler hitting the floor. With the Hydro Flask Wide Mouth with Flex Chug Cap not only do you get an insulated water tumbler, but the stainless steel design prevents denting with each fall to the floor.
The Yeti Rambler is another great choice for its durability and ease of use. This water bottle is consistently given best overall ratings. Who doesn't love a Yeti?

When everyone is on the go, making lunch packing easy is a must. The PackIt® Freezable Playtime Lunch Box has cool (no pun intended), kid-favorite designs and most importantly keeps food cold just like a refrigerator would.
Students have so much going on in their lives and it isn't always easy for them to keep track of what they need to get done. That is especially the case for school-work. The Global Datebooks Dated Middle and High School Planner caught my eye because it is stylish, but more importantly keeps it easy for kids to keep track of schoolwork they need to complete. I wish more of my students took advantage of having a planner to keep them organized.
When the backpacks are overflowing, there still needs to be a handy case for holding all the other smaller classroom essentials. CICIMELON Durable Pen Pencil Case fulfills the task of keeping your student organized while providing style and minimizing bulk in their backpack. Every little eraser needs a home!
